We're donating more this holiday season!

Starting October 30th we will be donating $0.05 for every Field Day product sold until December 3rd!

Gathering with family and friends for a Thanksgiving meal is a familiar ritual for many people, and we strive to serve our entire community well during this busy time of year. In recognition that the story of the first Thanksgiving perpetuates an inaccurate and harmful version of history, our co-op is joining food co-ops across the country to make a collective donation to North American Traditional Indigenous Food Systems (NĀTIFS) this November.

NĀTIFS is a nonprofit organization founded by Lakota Chef Sean Sherman (known as the Sioux Chef), dedicated to revitalizing Indigenous food systems and promoting cultural preservation within Native American communities. Through initiatives like the Indigenous Food Lab, NĀTIFS offers training programs, educational workshops and support for Indigenous entrepreneurs to empower individuals and foster economic development.

By addressing economic disparities, food insecurity and the loss of Indigenous food knowledge, NĀTIFS aims to restore health, wealth and cultural identity to Indigenous populations. The organization's commitment to promoting Indigenous foodways education, facilitating food access and revitalizing ancestral knowledge underscores its mission to create positive social impact and support underserved communities.

 

To learn more about NĀTIFS, visit natifs.org. If you want to get involved, follow NĀTIFS on social media, sign up for the NĀTIFS newsletter or make your own donation. You can also lend a hand by sharing their mission and vision on social media with your friends and family.

Don’t forget to shop FIELD DAY this November because when you take advantage of low prices on Field Day items not only do you saves money, but you also support the vital work that NĀTIFS is undertaking
